A second book in the series about matchmaking wagers between Eugenia and Lord Thornton.
Caroline and Henry are childhood friends but now there is a new mystery to their relationship.
As such, they get caught up in the rules and machinations of the ton.
Another character named Venetia is on the marriage mart but unhappy with her prospects.
Intertwining character and excitement add to the fun of the storyline.
Truly the underlying very slow burn romance belongs to Eugenia as she has years of unrequited longing.

An adventurous tale with a delightful heroine. Caroline doesn’t hesitate to rescue her friend from the machinations of an obnoxious lord but it leads to an engagement between her friend and the man she herself loves. Can Henry and Caroline discover why Lord Windermere is so intent on marrying a penniless bride and resolve the matter with their reputations intact?
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

A cheerful, fun novel... Combining historical romance with a good dose of suspense and a pinch of humor.... It's not boring, quite the opposite: once you start reading, you'll want more and more....
